Similar thinking on this card of Zeb (not HOF Bill or even "William H.") Terry. It appears the F50 card editors wrote in the wrong Terry when they revived a stack of images from E135 for their dairy/candy promotions in the late 1920s. A painful price for Zeb collectors to pay! Note the original image included Zeb's White Sox jersey logo, which this "William H. Terry" version removes. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/si...-171-Zeb-Terry

Hack Wilson cards from this similar slew of card releases (F50, E210, etc) is actually Art Wilson.

It is a problem because of the limited issues of non-exhibit/postcard Hack Wilson cards out there from his Cubs playing days...and very especially for those that shun the various 1933 cards since his last season with the Cubs was 1931.

There are many spelling errors, but usually they were just a letter off or would have the same pronunciation. Smith and Schmidt are pretty far apart! They got his name right on his other pose.

I love the quirkiness of this little set and the primitive drawings

I’ve always wondered if they were just Anglocizing his name since Schmidt is the German version of Smith. He never went by Smith that I know of. But his birth name WAS Carl (German) and he/his family changed it to Charles (English for Carl)
